btw, my temp gauge(oem gauge) doesnt move past its normal position when warmed up......i have no cooling issues what so ever....
which leads me to think something is up with yours ace, if you ever get a chance and want to get a new tune around the houston area hit me up and we will give your car a good once over before tune.

pipes arent bad really, cold side is a pain in the arce to install though, just took some time in getting it positioned. it sits kinda high, the bov just touches the hood(well the insulation on it...lol)
bov sounds pretty sweet too....

^^ my setup is a lil different from yours, my cooling is less effective.. i have coolant constantly going to the hot turbo, i have one pusher fans that barely get air to the rad coz the ac block it, and no fan shroud.. you might be good with stcok fans.. they are 10" but that housing makes it so effective.. just pay attention to the fans if they still turn off during idle.. i say your good with stock fans..
It'll be a great reference for my install this Friday (hopefully).

yeah i thought the BOV sat pretty high up, after a while it might wear through the insulation part of it. very nice none the less 
i was gonna say you have one sweet personal garage but then i remembered it was a shop that you did it at right?

your right, that turbo on yours is an expensive water heater.....lol
It just seems like something could be done to make your car run a little cooler.....but i guess fans now are your only option

I might play with the cold side a bit and see what more i can do to get it lower. in all reality its not that bad.
